No outside food or drinks are allowed inside the festival – this includes bottled water. Once inside the fest water will be provided for drinking and rinsing your glass. The only exception is pretzel necklaces.

This is a regulatory measure to keep in compliance with Illinois liquor laws. Naperville Ale Fest ticket holders will receive 18 drink tickets. Each drink ticket can be exchanged for a 3oz sample. Additional drink tickets are available for $0.50 per ticket. Additional samples are limited to 10 tickets for a total of 30 oz.

Parking is available at the Naperville Municipal Lot, Naperville Central High School Lot, and at the city garage at Washington & Chicago – these lots are free so get there early if you plan on parking in one.
